Steve Doocy announces new coast-to-coast hosting role on 'Fox & Friends'
After nearly 30 years of waking up to his alarm clock at 3:30 a.m., "Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy will finally be able to hit the snooze.
The longtime host announced on "Fox & Friends" that "it's time for a change" that will allow him to spend more time with his growing family, while still continuing his hosting duties.
"After decades of getting up at 3:30 and driving into New York City in the dark, today is the last day I will host this show from the couch. I'm not retiring, I'm not leaving the show. I'm still a host, but it's time for a change," he said Thursday.

"Suzanne Scott, the CEO of Fox News Media and a friend of mine for over 30 years, and I have been trying to figure out what a guy who's been getting up at 3:30 for two generations should do next. And Suzanne gave me a great option. To keep working on this show, just not every day."
Doocy said he'll now host three days a week and will be based in Florida. He said he will be reporting "coast to coast," including from areas of the U.S. that don't get as much coverage.

"When my kids were growing up, I never had breakfast with them," he said. "I was always here, Kathy did everything. But starting tomorrow, I'm going to have breakfast with my grandkids and my children whenever I can."
President Donald Trump also shared a special message to Doocy, thanking him for his fair coverage through the years and congratulating him on the transition.

"I just want to congratulate you on your new and probably enhanced role," the president said. "I just think you're a fantastic guy. You've always treated me fairly, sometimes a little more fairly than other times, but that's okay. You've been really stellar at what you do and at your craft, and you're going to continue, and it's really been an honor to have spent so much time with you and watching you and the whole group in the morning."
"It's the number one show in the business, and it's going to stay that way for a long time to come, and you were a big part of it," he continued. "So thank you for all of your service, because truly, it was service."
Doocy, who joined Fox News Channel at its inception in 1996 and began as 'Fox & Friends' co-host two years later, said he will be taking some time off to spend with his children and grandchildren before kicking off his new role.

Canadian actor Michael J. Fox leads ‘Back to the Future' cast in search for lost Gibson guitar from film
If only Michael J. Fox could go back in time to 1985 and get his hands on the iconic guitar he used in the 'Back to the Future' movie. He's not really a time traveller, but he's hoping to luck out in tracking down the classic Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 guitar from the film that launched two sequels. It's been missing for 40 years, and some of the cast and crew has reunited for a hunt to find it. The guitar was used in a memorable scene from the film. Fox's character Marty McFly, who has travelled back in time to 1955, is asked to step in for an injured band member at the 1955 school prom. McFly picks up the guitar and starts playing. First, he strums to 'Earth Angel' by The Penguins, and then goes into a solo riff from Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode,' calling it an oldie where he comes from, even though the 1958 song doesn't exist yet. Gibson Guitars has teamed up with filmmaker Doc Crotzer to launch the search for the missing guitar, which is part of a broader project marking the movie's 40th anniversary. And the search is being turned into a documentary, with comments from Fox, who is a guitar collector. 'No one's seen that guitar since 1985,' actor Harry Waters Jr., who played Starlighters band guitarist Marvin Berry, said in a new 'Lost to the Future' promo. 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum, or it's in some teamster's garage,' Fox said. There is even a website, with an 800-number for tips. When it comes to guitars in movies, no guitar was more iconic or more influential than the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 used by Marty McFly to play 'Johnny B Goode' in the movie Back to the Future. That scene has been cited by countless artists as the moment they knew they wanted to play guitar. One problem: the guitar has been missing since 1985, and no one knows its whereabouts. A countdown clock on the website is ticking down to four-and-a-half months from now, but there's no information about what happens at the end, or what the reward may be if the guitar is found. Anyone with information about the guitar can leave a message at 1-855-345-1955 or send a message via . The now iconic guitar is said to have inspired a generation of musicians — from celebrities like Chris Martin of Coldplay to garage band guitarists. But the guitar was nothing but a prop at the time, rented from Norman's Rare Guitars in California, a story in said . Strangely enough, even though the film is set in 1955, the filmmakers weren't exactly true to the time frame, and took some liberties in using that guitar. That Gibson ES-345 model was not in production until 1958, and didn't appear in that cherry red colour until 1959, said. Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode' song did was released in 1958, so that aligns with the movie's narrative — but he doesn't have a cousin named Marvin. Staff from Norm's guitar store believe the guitar was sold sometime after the movie, then returned to be resold again — but there's no firm paperwork on where it ended up. They believe it may be in Japan, as guitar aficionado tourists were visiting the area during a vintage guitar boom, Billboard said. A Canadian, Fox will appear in Toronto later this summer for FanExpo Aug. 22 and 23, to sign autographs for $300 each, or $349 for a signed comic book, licence plate, movie poster and other memorabilia.

2025 Emmys Animated Series Predictions
Variety Awards Circuit section is the home for all awards news and related content throughout the year, featuring the following: the official predictions for the upcoming Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards ceremonies, curated by Variety chief awards editor Clayton Davis. The prediction pages reflect the current standings in the race and do not reflect personal preferences for any individual contender. As other formal (and informal) polls suggest, competitions are fluid and subject to change based on buzz and events. Predictions are updated every Thursday. More from Variety 'There Is No Feud': Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood Tell All on Their 'White Lotus' Connection, a Cut Love Scene and Yes, Why He Unfollowed Her on Instagram 'The Boys' Mocks 'The Last of Us,' 'House of The Dragon' and 'The Bear' in 'Superclass' FYC Clip (EXCLUSIVE) Could AI Help the Emmys? Why the TV Community Is 'Curious, but Not Yet Committed' Outstanding Animated Program Commentary (Updated: June 5, 2025): After seven acclaimed seasons and more than 50 Emmy nominations, 'Big Mouth' could finally claim the trophy for Outstanding Animated Program with its eighth and final installment. Since its 2017 debut on Netflix, the irreverent adult comedy has pushed boundaries with its bold mix of raunchy humor and heartfelt exploration of puberty, identity and growing up. With Maya Rudolph already a four-time Emmy winner for her role as Connie the Hormone Monstress and a voice cast that includes 222 star-studded guests, the show has become a cultural force in animation. Nick Kroll has also been making the rounds, giving heartfelt interviews that have garnered headlines and increased awareness for the show. Netflix is also juggling the former winner, 'Arcane,' and the new series 'Devil May Cry,' which could also break through and dominate the category. The last time a network or studio picked up three nominations in this category in the same year was 2012 — Fox's 'American Dad!,' 'Bob's Burgers,' and 'The Simpsons' — which all lost to Nickelodeon's 'The Penguins of Madagascar.' Speaking of Fox, they'll have the record-breaking 'The Simpsons' in the mix, which holds the record for most nominations (33) and wins (12) in this category, that could come in and take it home once more. There's also a pathway for Paramount's 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' to also nab a spot, which has been close on a few times, but hasn't received recognition yet. The Emmys eligibility period ends on May 31. Nomination voting runs from June 12 to June 23, with official nominations set to be announced July 15.
